Karen Antell, Biology Faculty, Eastern Oregon University, La Grande, Oregon: Plant Biology Images. An image collection of herbaceous stems, leaves, roots, embryos, fruits, fungi, protista, non-vascular plants (mosses, liverworts) etc.

Alice Bergfeld (she is the English editor), Rolf Bergmann, University of Hamburg, and Peter v. Sengbusch, University of Bielefeld and Institut für Allgemeine Botanik, University of Hamburg: BOTANY Online - The Internet Hypertextbook. Botany online is based on the textbook 'Botanik' by Peter von Sengbusch (Mc Graw Hill Book Company, 1989). The original text has been supplemented by hundreds of coloured illustrations and photos by animated molecular models, short animations of movements and flower diagrams. The text is interconnected by numerous links and nearly each new topic or subtopic starts with a short summary and ends with a bibliography. Now both, the International and the German Edition are available for download. Superbly done, exemplary for the web´s future!

Elisabeth A. Wheeler, Department of Wood and Paper Science, North Carolina State University: Wood Anatomy and Properties. See the Lecture notes. The first part of the course discusses the macroscopic features common to all native woods, tree growth, and wood formation. Next is a study of softwood and hardwood anatomy that emphasizes the relationship between structure, function, and material characteristics. Discussion of cell wall properties precedes an introduction to some of wood´s physical and mechanical properties. Worth checking out: The handlens identificacation page.
